This looks like it would be a great fun race bike, but I'm not sure I'd want it as a road bike. Thanks to Ross for the tip-off. Follow this link to UK eBay (not a) Champion Ossa. The reserve is £2600.
UPDATE: Spurious title on eBay. I should've read it more carefully. It's not a Champions frame. Still neat, but not a desirable (to me at least). G
Fantastic, I can smell it from here! But Champion?..............
ReplyDeleteChampion, as in the framemaker, not the success of this particular machine. G
ReplyDeleteI had an Astro champion, it went back to Spain for use as a hill climber
ReplyDeleteLooks to me that it's Phantom head stock, Champion swingarm, motor mounts unknown. OSSA Champion, ST-1, will be stamped on steering head.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a Champion. The seller even says the frame is a bastardised Ossa frame......
ReplyDeleteAh, Sorry Captain. Didn't read it, just posted it in a hurry as I was on the way out this morning and noticed it didn't have long to go. G
ReplyDeleteDitto, just had the photo fowarded with caption.
